Script Handbook for Interactive Scientific Website Building

Abstract

In this script handbook, we collect the basic (and partially upgraded) PHP scripts used for building the AMIDAS website (http://pisrv0.pit.physik.uni-tuebingen.de/darkmatter/amidas/), an online interactive simulation/data analysis system for direct Dark Matter detection experiments and phenomenology. In this (1.73205) version, we add more materials and improve the scripts for offering a more convenient, comfortable and user-friendly environment on interactive scientific computing websites. Some basic, often used commands of (X)HTML, CSS, JavaScript, HTML DOM, and PHP are also given in Appendix. Online demonstrations and downloadable template scripts are given on http://www.tir.tw/iswb/ss2012/templates.php.

277 pages, 35 figures (75 png files); lecture material for NCKU Computation Summer Camp, Tainan, Taiwan, August 9-14, 2010; v2: typos fixed, notes added; v3: more materials added and scripts improved
